Which of the following most accurately describes the problem?

I N a mobile greengrocery shop, recently built by the Gateshead Industrial Co-operative Society, Ltd., an outstanding feature is the use of a Perspex clerestory roof, which makes for particularly good natural lighting of the interior. The vehicle is based on a Fordson Thames chassis.

The fruit and vegetables carried are displayed in wire baskets, which rest on a framework constructed of angle iron. Accommodation for 2 cwt. of potatoes is provided on a table arranged at the rear of the body on the near side, the balance of the potato load being carried in sacks.

Customers reach the service counter through a door at the forward end of the body. The framework throughout is of ash, the panelling being in aluminium sheet. The general finish is in green, with polished aluminium mould-. ings forming the outline of the flash and wing flares, which are filled in with acream finish.
